What did you expect from this camera in advance ? Nothing good right ?

Why so negative? Good camera, humble lens, not for low light. If the bellows is tight, the lens clean and the shutter working, what can go wrong?

Usually people not respect basic level cameras with lenses as we can see on their price level, they usually go for nothing.

This camera was a great surprise , very sharp, very well built , such a great camera.

Do you have any idea which manufacturer made the Frankar lens?
I still have to develop the first film coming from a Zeiss Nettar 515/2 with Novar 105mm 6.3. It behaves quite well and I expect decent results (as far as it concerns the camera & lens). Pleasant to use, but you need some light!

No idea, unfortunately. I look forward to your pictures! Usually I use exclusively folders on bright sunshine at F8 F11 so F6.3 fastest aperture just fine.
